My Name is Philip, I was the head quality/brewer for a major craft brewery in north America but in the middle of moving back to Ireland (I will be back and fourth in the next few weeks). I am at the moment in the process of setting up a craft brewery based laboratory in collaboration with the Wicklow Hops Company who are growing hops in Newcastle Co.Wicklow. The purpose of the lab will be for testing hops, beer and growing liquid yeast for breweries. The lab will be mostly geared towards craft breweries but homebrewers will be welcomed to have there beer analysed or come and pick up some hops/yeast at the end of the season.

What us homebrewers need is a lab that can do a simple water profile analysis for a fair price. We have in the past bulked up an order and had the tests done in the UK
